Drowning is a silent killer. An adult must always stay close when young children are in or around water. |
| • |
Children can drown in as little as 2 inches of water, in less than the time it takes to answer the phone. |
| • |
Enrol yourself and your children in swimming lessons. |
| • |
Teach your children to always enter water feet first. Diving or jumping into water can result in injury. |
| • |
Teach your children the hazards in and around water. (e.g. river currents, undertow, deep water & dams) |
| • |
Water rings, and inflatable toys are not a substitute for a PFD. |
| • |
Never allow children to swim alone. |
